Camden Nights
2022-23
-
Camden Nights is a series shaped by imagined space and childhood memories. Rooted in Sara
Carter’s early life in East Texas, the works produce dimensional worlds formed through recollection
and dreamlike vision. The name, selected by curator David de Boer, grounds the series in personal
history, though the imagery remains abstract and suggestive. Pieces like Can We Get There From
Here and Happy Crocodile in the Park both gesture toward movement, joy, and remembered
landscapes. Works like Today’s Window speak to emotional transitions without referencing places.
Rather than depict scenes, Camden Nights maps internal terrain—moments of wonder, memory,
and the shifting space between reality and imagination.
